“Pedro Alemañ Serna puts Granada ahead against the run of play, latching onto Sergio Lopez Galache's assist to make it 1-0 after Mallorca had enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges.”
Pivotal“Gerard Gumbau picks up a yellow card for a foul right on the stroke of half-time, compounding a nervy end to the first half for Granada and adding disciplinary pressure heading into the break.”
“Arnau Puigmal turns the ball into his own net, deflating Mallorca's hopes of a comeback and handing Granada a 2-0 cushion with nine minutes remaining — the moment that definitively ended the contest.”
Pivotal“Antonio Raíllo receives a yellow card for dissent following the own goal, summing up Mallorca's frustration as their night completely unravels in the space of sixty seconds.”

Outstanding performance
Granada•GoalkeeperGranada produced a tactically disciplined performance to claim all three points against a Mallorca side that dominated the ball but failed to turn their superiority into goals. Despite holding just 39% possession compared to Mallorca's 61%, Granada were the more dangerous side in key moments, generating six shots on target to Mallorca's four and earning seven corners across the contest. Pedro Alemañ Serna's 20th-minute strike — following a spell of sustained Mallorca pressure that had included efforts from Raillo and Rodelas — gave the hosts the lead against the run of play, and they never relinquished it. The result is given extra gloss by Arnau Puigmal's unfortunate 81st-minute own goal, which effectively killed off any Mallorca recovery, and leaves Granada firmly in the hunt for promotion while Mallorca's early-season campaign suffers a damaging blow on the road.
